Over a span of three years, Aristech Surfaces®, creator of the Avonite® solid surface brand, will solidify (pun intended!) their commitment to invest in the future of solid surface. In keeping with their quest for continuous improvement in quality and innovation, Aristech has just recently upgraded one of its continuous casting machines with a stainless steel belt, a $4.5 Million project, at its Florence, Kentucky plant.

While that may seem like a high price to pay to replace a belt, the machines are more than 100 yards long and over nine feet wide. It is one the world’s largest continuous cast machines for acrylics. There are 10 of these machines in the world, only five are located in the western hemisphere and Aristech owns four of them.

Let your imagination run wild for a moment thinking about the variety of projects you could create with solid surface material that is vibrant with color, translucent enough for backlighting and has the appearance of movement or texture. With the launch of Avonite™ Surfaces’ (a brand of Aristech Surfaces®) 12 new design materials under their Studio Collection™, the possibilities are endless.

The new colors fall into three Studio Collection categories: The Elements (translucent veined colors), The Mosaics (think terrazzo) and Frosted Glass (great for backlighting). Pictured is a gorgeous, custom-designed wine wall using one of the new colors from The Elements Collection, Ocean Breeze.

Taking customization to the extreme, this delightful sink is a fantastic example of the versatile nature of solid surface. After this sink was cut to the unique shape it was then thermoformed into a sink bowl. (photo courtesy Dupont Corian)

DuPont™ CorianⓇ is one of the most popular solid surface brands on the market. We are frequently asked if we sell CorianⓇ sheets and/or if we can provide custom cut sizes. The answer is “yes”, with some caveats, so we thought we’d put together this guide explaining what the current options are.

The curved, seamless walls of the new Levi’s® Stadium Museum in Santa Clara, CA, create a clean, uniform look that highlights why DuPont™ Corian® is the obvious choice for designers who want to make a bold statement with a durable solid surface.

The museum’s tall, translucent Corian® panels help capture the feeling and energy of the 49ers’ images projected on them. But they also are durable, which is necessary for an area with high volumes of visitor traffic.

“It is not surprising that Corian® would be featured so prominently in the Levi’s® Stadium Museum,” said John Richard, Global Business Director for DuPont Surfaces. “This type of impressive, large-scale design lends itself to Corian® both because of the surface’s aesthetic beauty and the ability to form it into virtually any shape or design.” Continue reading →

Have you ever wished you had a bathroom vanity top that had the thicker and heavier look of stone (granite or quartz) but retained that sought after warm comforting feel and hygienic properties that you get with standard Corian®, and other brands of solid surface material? Your wish has been granted, read on.

Corian® vanity tops can be constructed with an extra layer of 1/2"-thick Corian® material sandwiched between the sink and the top. Because Corian® is seamless when glued together with the matching adhesive, this makes the top appear to be as thick as the front and side edges.

Take a minute to imagine the perfect shopping setting…a center that offers hundreds of product options in one place, while also offering high-tech interactive information centers and (to top it off!) unparalleled comfort to make your experience more enjoyable and relaxing.

Answering this need, Brandimage, a global consultancy of brand-equity architects and designers, stepped in to design key pieces of “screen furniture” to make the ‘enjoyable and relaxing’ vision of Beaugrenelle Commercial Center in Paris, France, a reality. Continue reading →
